All they have left

April 28, 2009 6:59 pm ET by Jamison Foser

It must not be easy to be a National Review writer these days, what with the most conservative presidency in memory having thoroughly discredited conservatism to the point that people are falling all over themselves in their rush to leave the Republican Party. So, if you're a National Review writer, what do you do to cheer yourself up? You make a lame Al-Gore-said-he-invented-the-Internet joke:

Gore Credit-taking Prediction   [Jack Fowler]

I'm calling this way in advance: in 2021 or thereabouts Al Gore will say "I invented the single-molecule nano-vehicle."

Get it? Get it? Ten years ago, Al Gore said* he invented the Internet, so in 12 years, he's going to claim he invented something else. Ha!

It's been ten years. It's probably time to give it a rest.

* No. He didn't.

      Ahhh .. how the GOP pines for the golden years around 2000 when Turd Blossom was just a new young Turd, Newt was impeaching presidents and Matt Drudge was king.

      I get all teary-eyed just thinking about it ...

        Not they throw a reich-wing hissy fit teabag party and less than two weeks later the Democrats gain a filibuster proof majority.  LOL.  Priceless.
